This one is a childhood favorite. My brother and I used to walk to Capri on Saturday mornings, score sandwiches and head off to Little League practice.
These submarines are comprised of 1/2 loaf of Capri's fresh baked Italian bread and what surely approaches one pound of fresh cold cuts. If you think I jest, check out the photo below of the Italian mixed cold cut (baked ham, capicola, salami and provolone) version of this monster. The picture is courtesy of my friend and fellow food dude, Kevin M. You gotta love people in the lumber business, they're always on the look out for great food and somehow, we always have a tape measure at hand for emergency measuring:
In addition to the bread, Capri bakes it's own turkey, ham and roast beef sliced right onto the bread, so there's never any doubt your sandwich will be completely fresh. Along that line, note the complete lack of limp iceberg lettuce, under ripe or over ripe tomatoes or any other unsavory, poorly executed vegetable accompaniments that might steal the fresh bread and meat thunder.
For most humans, this is a two meal deal for around $6.00, value, volume and tastes great. What more can you ask for? Dessert? Well they make raisin studded fried dough every Saturday just in case you need something sweet after your sandwich.
Capri is a must stop every time I head home to the Capital District, right after Perecca's Bakery for small rounds and pizza. Happy days my friends, happy days.
